Someone photoshopped a NASA astronaut photo and created a screen overlay in Google Earth that just makes browsing the Earth a lot of fun!  The photo is a little weird to look at because it shows the astronaut's reflecting helmet mask with his arms seen out front.  But, the fun part is imagining yourself as an astronaut flying around in Google Earth.  The mode gives the same sensation whether you use it in Google Sky mode, or in Google Earth mode.  <A title="GE File" href="http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=984013">Download the astronaut overlay here</A> <IMG border="0" title="Google  Earth File.  You must have GE installed." src="http://www.gearthblog.com/images/gelogoicon.gif" /> (577 KBytes).   Choose whether you want Sky or Earth mode (you must be using GE 4.2 or greater).  The file was <A href="http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/984013/an//page/0/vc/1">posted</A> at the Google Earth Community.
